How to Read Newspaper Articles Online
Nowadays, many people prefer to get their news online. But with so much information available online, it’s more important than ever to get your news from reputable sources. For some people, that means relying on traditional newspaper outlets. Luckily, plenty of newspapers offer content online. Here’s how to access it.
The New York Times Newspaper
If you want to access The New York Times newspaper online, the good news is that you have a monthly allotment of free articles. However, if you’re a consistent reader, you should look into its subscription options. These include the “Basic Subscription,” which offers unlimited access to articles on any of your devices. You can also opt to add the “Cooking Subscription” or the digital access plus print subscription.
The website is laid out very intuitively, with the home page acting much like the front page of the paper. You can access content online and also through its app.
The Los Angeles Times Newspaper
The Los Angeles Times newspaper offers users three free articles per month on its site. After that, you must sign up for one of its subscriptions. The subscription is billed monthly and gives you unlimited access to all of the content. There are also other bonuses to signing up for a digital subscription, like receiving the Daily eNewspaper, which is just like the print paper but online, plus the chance to add home delivery options. And if you already pay for a regular paper delivery, digital access is included.
The Sunday Times Newspaper
The Sunday Times and The Times offer subscription-based access to online content. One subscription covers both papers, plus access to video content, crosswords and everything in the archive spanning 200 years.
The Seattle Times Newspaper
Reading The Seattle Times newspaper online requires a subscription that is billed weekly. There are several options available, including unlimited digital access. It also offers a package that gives you online access plus physical delivery of just the Sunday paper. That’s a bonus for coupon lovers. Others can opt for a digital and seven-day paper delivery subscription. The digital access includes a copy of the daily paper’s “Print Replica,” which mimics the paper copy.
Free Newspaper Articles Online
If you’re looking for free newspaper articles online, the best way to start is by doing a search on Google News for your keyword. If you gather your news from various sources, the free quota of articles may be enough to help keep yourself informed throughout the month. Some sites offer completely free articles, which are often local newspapers or sites like The Telegraph and The Guardian .
